Having put a number of different monitors to the test, K+H not only gave us absolutely uncoloured sound, but due to their compact and stylish design fitted perfectly with the overall aesthetics of our new facility.
The system, designed and supplied by Everything Audio, comprises of six O 400 mid-field monitors and three O 800 sub woofers a pair of the monitors and a sub woofer have been installed into each of the three new suites.

Without doubt these monitors are very special. They were easily the best product for this particular application and proved the ideal complement to the complex Digital system that we designed. Having worked with beyerdynamic for some time specifying their DT 100’s and DT 150’s to radio stations nationwide, it was a pleasure to work with beyerdynamic’s Product Manager, Matt Nettlefold who brought these monitors to our attention.
